Lemon Grass 140mm

Lemongrass is a fragrant, fast-growing culinary herb prized for its fresh lemon-citrus flavour and aromatic foliage. Widely used in Asian cooking, teas and herbal infusions, the tender white stem bases add bright flavour to soups, curries and stir-fries.

This clumping perennial grass forms an attractive upright mound of lush green leaves, making it both edible and ornamental in herb gardens and pots. Harvest stems as needed for cooking while enjoying its fresh citrus scent in the garden.

Lemongrass thrives in full sun, warmth and well-drained soil, performing best in frost-free or protected positions. Ideal for veggie gardens, raised beds and large containers, it is productive and easy to grow in Australian conditions.
